FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Carbon in Northern Forests: Integration of Research and Management June 10-11, 2009 Hagerty Center in Traverse City, Michigan __www.forest.mtu.edu/cinf_ <http://www.forest.mtu.edu/cinf>_
Abstracts for oral and poster presentations will be accepted until April 3, 2009. Additionally, presenters will have the opportunity to submit manuscripts for a special issue of the journal FOREST SCIENCE. This goal of this conference is to explore the breadth of forest carbon science in the Lake States and Northeast regions and provide an opportunity for scientists to: (1) share and discuss research on carbon pools and cycling in temperate and boreal forests; (2) identify research needs in forest carbon science given natural and human disturbances and environmental change; and (3) highlight potential effects of management on carbon dynamics and suggest methods to increase carbon stored in forests and wood products. Focus areas include: - Forest Carbon Cycle Science - Disturbance Effects on Forest Carbon Pools - Management Interaction with Forest Carbon Pools - Carbon as an Ecosystem Service - Bioenergy for Carbon Mitigation Additional information is available online at the conference website: _www.forest.mtu.edu/cinf_ <http://www.forest.mtu.edu/cinf>
